First Name: Matt
Age: 27
Home State: Texas (living in CA right now though)
Sign: Here's yours
Favorite TV shows: LOST, Heroes, Chuck, South Park, Venture Brothers, Metalocalypse, Bleach, Naruto, and Death Note.
Favorite Movies: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Fight Club, Spider-man trilogy, 300, The Last Samurai, Once, LoTR trilogy, Hellboy, Dumb & Dumber.
Favorite Games: Final Fantasy series, Rock Band, The Sims 2 (I know, I know), Halo trilogy, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and Final Fantasy Tactics (probably my all-time favorite).
Favorite Bands/Artists: The Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Folds, Colplay, Radiohead, John Mayer, Aimee Mann, Sufjan Stevens, and Duncan Sheik.
How you got into Role-Playing: My brother and I used to play in this undeveloped spot of wilderness near a forest that we called The New Park (because a park was supposedly going to be built there). Along with two other friends from the neighborhood, we just started making up these games. Our friend's older brother was into D&D and he tried to get us to play. I decided I didn't like how restrictive D&D was, so I decided to start making my own games. So the name of this guild is a throwback to the place that got me started on RPGs - the New Park.
Random, quirky fact about you: I'm the guitarist/frontman/songwriter in a band (www.MySpace.com/AlmostEliot if you're interested) and a serial procrastinator.
